What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

How do you do it, Jen? You're faced with the same, unending drudge of misspellings (and godawful color schemes...er, scheams), and yet you still manage to come up with original, hysterical commentary. Is it all those shots in the dark?

At any rate, well done, my Wreck Master, well done. I look forward to "Gradaiton" season!!

I learned from a dear friend that when people misspell things they think they are spelling it right so feel no need to check a dictionary. My ex hubby spelled 'people' as 'peeple' and he was over 50 years old. He thought it was correct every time he wrote it.

We will always have people who misspell with us, which means Cake Wrecks can be with us forever.

EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. MISSPELLED. (Strangely, I spell-checked that last word in Word 2007 and it is ok two ways: "misspelled" and "mispelled". But Firefox doesn't like "mispelled." Anyone care to debate?)
